Tom Tom Club will be releasing their first studio album in ten years in early 2010. Rumor has it that the double album will combine worthy doses of traditional blues, funk and rock. A whole gaggle of guest stars will lend support, ranging from Damon Albarn to David Grohl to Van Morrison to Jerry Harrison.

Nine tracks have already been produced including "Tonight's the Night", a four-minute original that shares its roots in Tom Tom classics like "Genius of Love". Other tracks include "Meltdown", the guitar-driven "Sun Happy" and "Get Your Party Line". The song "Red Light", currently featured in the "Outside the Wind" soundtrack, will also be included.

Some of the new songs will take on a more darker tone, reflecting both industrial and jungle influences. The longest track, "If It Were So", comes in at over seven minutes and stitches together various samples from natural environments to create new layers of beats and sounds.

Exploring new territory as always, the band plans to release the album through an innovative online marketing program that combines both internet and retail channels. A full tour is expected in mid-2010.
